Cannot find what is meant by these terms...This is part of the Mexican Civil Code.

POR DAÑO MORAL SE ENTIENDE LA AFECTACION QUE UNA PERSONA SUFRE EN SUS SENTIMIENTOS, AFECTOS, CREENCIAS, DECORO, HONOR, REPUTACION, VIDA PRIVADA, CONFIGURACION Y ASPECTOS FISICOS, O BIEN EN LA CONSIDERACION QUE DE SI MISMA TIENEN LOS DEMAS. SE PRESUMIRA QUE HUBO DAÑO MORAL CUANDO SE VULNERE O MENOSCABE ILEGITIMAMENTE LA LIBERTAD O LA INTEGRIDAD FISICA O PSIQUICA DE LAS PERSONAS.

physical traits and appearance
Explanation:
I suppose that the term is intended to cover humiliations that, while resulting in physical modification (e.g., bullies tormenting a victim by applying lipstick, cutting off his beard, or shaving his head, etc.) that doesn't actually result in physical injury (which would be another legal category).

Suerte.

person


Explanation:
In legal language, you very often see references to one's "person", as in one's physical body.

E.g., the following definition for Trespass, taken from the Free Dictionary (see web reference below):
An unlawful intrusion that interferes with one's **person** or property.

external and phisical form


Explanation:

Sometimes the articles in the mexican constitution are not clear, due to tue obscurity that permeates legal jargon. But without question the phrase refers to the phisical or exterial form of a given subject, that endures dammage. The first lines make emphasis to the impairement endured by the imaginary. Then, the phisical form, constitution, or exterior aspect.
